One on one phone support. / CAN NOT PROGRAM LIMIT/HOME SWITCHES
« on: September 28, 2015, 07:44:14 PM »
Have Mack 3 demo. I am trying to get 3 axes working on a small mill 10” x 2” running as in the Mach 3 manual. My computer is running Windows 7 and USB in to an n E-Cut board.
Using six limit switches:  X++ =LIMIT, X- - =LINIT/HOME, Y++ =LIMIT, Y- - =LIMIT/HOME, Z++ =LIMIT/HOME (spindle up home), Z- - = LIMIT.  
I have gone through the setup and all drives work in the correct directions. I programmed the limit switches and they seem to work OK, once the limit is trigged the stepper stops and the computer screen Mack 3 controller RESET button flashes red. When I call Home, the Y axis move to the –Y position, hits the, Y- - =LIMIT/HOME switch STOPS and the controller Rest button flashes red.   I have tried everything I can think to get the Home and the Mach’ne Coord's button to work as in the Mack 3 manual.  
I need a phone contact to help with this problem.    408 857-2261
